In the Myriad Beasts Garden Hunting Group's camp, most people had already gone to sleep.
Only two Aberrants assigned to night watch remained awake, each sitting vigilantly in a dim corner. From time to time, they got up to check on the combat pets outside the camp.
Three Red-Eyed Mountain Eagles perched in the trees, while a pack of Thousand Peak Retrievers waited below. One had night vision, another possessed a keen sense of smell, and there were also Wind Riding Hawks with powerful hearing. With three types of combat pets standing guard at once, they had no fear of enemies infiltrating the camp, so everyone was relaxed.
Suddenly, thunder rumbled overhead.
The two Aberrants had just looked up when three bolts of lightning instantly struck the camp, erupting with explosions.
Bang! Bang! Pfft! The three sounds overlapped, followed immediately by a scream.
The entire camp instantly erupted into chaos.
Everyone woke up and rushed out of their tents. The combat pets outside the camp let out uneasy roars, while hawks and Blood Crows took flight in fright, screeching chaotically in the sky.
Pei Hong had only just fallen asleep when the attack came, and his eyes flew open, but he had no time to react.
He drew the longsword at his waist and leaped up, but he could not find the enemy.
Only Liu Yusu's tent had been attacked.
A terrible premonition struck Pei Hong. Liu Yusu's tent had been torn apart, yet she had not gotten up.
He stepped forward and lifted the damaged, collapsed tent cloth, immediately revealing Liu Yusu's corpse. A silver-white arrow crackling with electricity had pierced her left eye, gone through her brain, and pinned her to the ground. She was thoroughly dead.
"Captain!"
"What happened?"
The Hunting Team members cried out in shock.
